Maximising economic value

Our spatial economics offering is built on three key pillars — Location Economics, Impact Economics, and Business Case and Investment Appraisal — providing a holistic approach to evaluating and maximising economic opportunities.

By delivering comprehensive assessments and applying proven methodologies, we empower clients to understand and leverage key economic drivers, assess impacts comprehensively, and develop strong business cases for investment.

This integrated approach ensures informed decision-making that drives sustainable growth and resilience across diverse regions and sectors.

What we do

Location economics

We provide comprehensive location economics assessments, evaluating the economic potential of specific sites and regions for development and investment.

Our analysis helps clients understand the unique economic drivers of a location, considering factors such as accessibility, infrastructure, local labour markets, and proximity to key industries.
Impact economics

We deliver comprehensive economic impact assessments of organisations, sectors, projects, policies and economic shocks.

We use government-recognised techniques to capture direct, indirect supply chain and induced effects.

We also provide tailored assessments of productivity gains, tax contributions, wellbeing impacts and environmental benefits.
Business case and investment appraisal

We have undertaken a wide range of feasibility studies ranging from site specific assessments to infrastructure corridor evaluations, and from nationally significant visitor attractions to local heritage development.

We are experts in business case development, and have secured major funding awards under programmes including URDF, RRDF, REDF, Destination Towns, and Platforms for Growth.
